About the Book

Satellite Remote Sensing for Forest and Environmental Monitoring provides a thorough examination of the applications and methods of satellite remote sensing for analyzing and managing forest environments. From forest height mapping to biodiversity modeling, the book explores a variety of Earth observation applications across cutting-edge sensors and platforms. The book addresses the ability of satelitte technologies to observe and analyse ecological functions, conditions, and socioeconomic benefits for sustainable nature protection in the face of anthropogenic change, offering practical tools and strategies for large-scale forest inventories, fire risk assessment, and freshwater management. Satellite Remote Sensing for Forest and Environmental Monitoring offers postgraduates, researchers, and academics in remote sensing and geospatial technologies, particularly those focusing on forestry applications and related disciplines insights into environmental changes, land use patterns, vegetation mapping, and climate indicators.

About the Author :
Dr. Pablo Rodríguez-Gonzálvez, an associate professor at the University of León (Spain), boasts a prolific career in Geomatics since 2007, marked by over 80 articles in scientific journals, 40 international conference presentations, 5 edited books, 13 book chapters, 11 national patents, and 25 intellectual properties. Leading the DRACONES research group, focused on natural environment documentation and analysis, he collaborates extensively with the forestry industry, driving impactful societal contributions. Dr. Rodríguez-Gonzálvez's passion for research, coupled with a dedication to knowledge transfer through teaching and software development, underscores his significant influence in advancing Geomatics and its applications. Dr. Juan Guerra Hernandez is a CEEC Researcher at the Forest Research Centre (CEF) of the University of Lisbon, Portugal, specializing in the application of remote sensing for forest monitoring and integrating various data sources for sustainable forest management. With a focus on LiDAR technology for forest inventory, he specialises in the impact of fire severity on forest structure and biomass stocks using NASA GEDI data. Dr. Eduardo Manuel González Ferreiro is a forestry engineer and associate professor at the University of León, Spain. Throughout his scientific career has focused on the applications of active and passive remote sensing for forest inventory, risk estimation and monitoring of natural areas. He has carried out research stays in several prestigious research centers and universities around the world (UK Forestry Commission, University of Sevilla, Georg-August-Universität, and Oregon State University). He is widely published with over 80 co-authors from 20 research institutions, 4 registrations of software, and over 30 presentations at conferences and scientific congress. In 2023, he received the I3 certificate from the Spanish Research Agency, which accredits an outstanding scientific career.
